Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A breif description of what the graphic is would help:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running on the weekend, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

My husband finally got fed up with how loud I need to TV on the hear, that he mandated CC at all times...ha, if he heard that he had mandated anything he would laugh. He actually suggested I use CC.

[Socratic]

LOL Sometimes husbands are the last to know, at least I've heard.

[umbagi]

Is Fox still close captioned for you?? I need to know in case it's a local problem which I highly doubt.

All my CCs are out; I usually watch Fox on the TV, and flip among MSNBC, CNN, and locals on the 'puter with the CC in a separate window. None are working tonight, though.

Okay, I am talking about close captioning for the deaf not the crawler that I assume you're talking about, right? I still see the crawler, but not the CC for the deaf.

Did anyone just hear Geraldo? He just gave his location. SAid he was 20 miles SW of ? (didn't catch what city he said)!!! I thought they were not supposed to give their locations like that!

[Socratic]

You have it right, at first I was confused.

[spectr17]

hehe, you shoot good G.I. Now shoot the Sodomy poster on the right.

Fox is usually CC from 7 am until 11 pm. BUT when Operation Iraqi Freedom began, it was CC 24/7 UNTIL Tues nite when they went back to their regular schedule. It pissed me off. I've emailed them so many times about it. No response.

Shep also has on Major Bob Belavqua......who is a withering ninny, in a red turtleneck.

[Dolphy]

Yes I heard him and thought the same thing. Unfortunately I have no reason to believe he would clear before broadcast, but I hope that's the case.

[Fledermaus]

Yeah, by the looks of the camera...in BAG...smoke gets in your eyes.
